I did the baseball bat way on my front fenders.... 
I dont like it, it cracked and dimples and ughhhh all ****ed up. I want a little sideswipe so I can get my insurance claim on to get my whole car worked and repainted already

yeah basically the only way to avoid rubbing up front on the fender is to have heaps of stretch and not much sidewall. so you basically have your wheel edge flush, but then the tyre pulled right back under the arch by the stretch...

Seriously, this is so frustrating. It could also be that I need to take the tires down a notch and get a smaller, more stretched tire. Because the 25mm makes my front wheels flush, and 20mm still leaves a bit to be desired. I just looked and it actually rubbed the whole fender liner, so i dont think shaving/cutting it wont really help...
you can roll it flat and kinda flare it out a little so it doesn't rub.

my tires right now are 225-35-19 in front on 19x8.5.
I think I can still strech alot if I wanted to, but i dont want to go ridiculously thin, i still want to maintain at least a small level of safety haha. Any reccomendations you guys...? After all this help i promise to post my tucking pictures

I think im gonna try cutting "slits" throughout the liner, creating tabs, then using a vice grip to clamp the liner closer to the fender.
I'm also heavily consider 215/35/19''s on my 8.5's. Ill try the vice grip method tomorow and let you guys know how it goes.

Just a hammer on 1side and pressure on the other. Then take it to the body shop to make it look stock again. That's what I did.
If your going to be pulling the fender a grip, dimples are inevitable.
